lyrics

Please don’t live lightly
Please don’t live empty
Like a bag in the wind
 
Don’t make me start up a book club
Don’t make me use up all of my love
For the sake of your inbox
 
The parade is coming to your door
Fill the tub until it floods the floor
With roses
 
Feel the wait of your body
Feel the wait of somebody else
As a breeze from within
 
Take a thing that’s not useful
And make a thing that is useful
Like a bag catching the wind
 
Turn your javelin into a mast
Face the mirrors down and sail at last
On roses
 
You could drink your way out of the sea
But the thorns would sneak in past your teeth
You could chew yourself out of the turf
But the vines would strangle everything you think that you are worth
A rose in the wind beats the breaking of skin
Arise as a friend, seeking those who can’t swim
